find him! Back when Dad had Trapper, he took him to work every day to hang out on the job site. Word is that Trapper was awesome at this. Dad is an electrical contractor, so Trapper learned how to hang out at job sites and not get Meet Jasper!
AN EASIER WAY TO MONITOR YOUR PET’S GLUCOSE LEVELS
in anyone’s way. Though, he did come in for pets for their breaks, and he was notorious for walking around at 4:30 p.m. signaling to everyone that it was time to clean up and head home! What a cool dog! I’m following in his footsteps too. Since I’m still recovering from my surgery, Dad has been keeping me in the back of the truck, which he’s converted into a really awesome hangout spot for me. This way, I can rest up and Dad can check in on me. Pretty soon, I’ll start learning the ropes on the job site and channeling my inner Trapper to be the best job dog ever!
AND GET DIABETES UNDER CONTROL Did you know that Dr. Clark is passionate about diabetes treatments for animals? He helped his now-adult son learn to manage his Type 1 diabetes growing up, and he brings that human connection and care to diabetic animals at the Animal Clinic of Kalispell. Continuous glucose monitoring is making that care even easier, more affordable, and more accurate! The clinic now offers the FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitor system for diabetic pets. Instead of having to bring your cat or dog in to the clinic several times to get poked to check their glucose levels, you can have one of our veterinarians implant a chip in a single visit that allows you to read your pet’s glucose levels as frequently as you’d like over the course of two weeks! Implanting the chip will feel like getting an insulin shot for your pet. There are many advantages to the continuous monitoring system. Your pet gets to avoid the stress of coming into the veterinarian’s office several times to get poked for a glucose read so we can establish their glucose curve. That stress has also been shown to lead to less accurate data. Good data is essential for establishing the best plan of care for your pet and keeping their diabetes under control. Because you can monitor your pet at home where they are in their natural environment and collect more data with this system, the results tend to be more accurate and better serve us in treating your pet properly.
This is Jasper’s brother, Trapper, o we just couldn’t ave out. You know, sibling rivalvry.
I’m so glad Dad took me to see Dr. Clark. Not only am I going to be so strong and healthy after I heal up, but I also made a lot of friends at the clinic. I love seeing the ladies at the clinic. They give me so many pets and so much attention. (Can you blame them? I’m pretty cute!) I’m all
wiggle-butt when Dad and I walk in there. Sometimes I even join in on the morning staff meetings. I’m just trying to get used to reporting to work each morning, so I’ll be ready to go to work with Dad every day.
I know that with Dr. Clark on our team, I’m sure to live a long and happy life just like Trapper. Yeah, I am a really lucky dog.
vorite Sliders
Directions
1. In a bowl, combine meat, rice, yogurt, cumin, and salt. 2. Form the mixture into 4 patties. 3. Drizzle each side of patties with extra-virgin olive oil. 4. In a heated nonstick skillet, cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side. 5. Place cooked sliders on a small roll for an extra treat, then chop the sliders into bite-size pieces for easy consumption!
This is also a more time-efficient and cost-effective system. Fewer trips to the clinic mean more time and money for you and less stress for your companion animal. It’s a win-win! If you have experience caring for a diabetic animal, you know that things can change fast. Continuous glucose monitoring helps you track those changes and get things back under control. If your pet has been newly diagnosed with diabetes, you’ll want to work with us to find the best way to manage this condition and ensure your pet is happy and healthy and that you get as many years together as possible.
